Beginning of an Era
Well, we've made it to Portland. 55 mph -- maximum -- in a Uhaul truck, trailer and car with a freaked out Hughes. Four days. It takes Burke about a day to do it. Argh. Luckily for us, Rob and Jana Church came through for us big-time. We're staying temporarily in their folks' place in Newburg, about 25 miles from Portland.
Still no place lined up, although we have a lead on one place. Lent, you'll like it and can test it out for us. Guest room and all. We're putting our stuff into a storage place today. Hopefully we'll be able to take it easy this weekend and go on a honeymoon next week. Location still TBA.
Ken accepted a job with the Facade group in Portland. We're drinking coffee in an internet cafe. Welcome to Portland.

I'll be the first to comment. Glad you guys made it! Hopefully Jana and I will be up that way soon. Enjoy the jacuzzi and the view.
I'll link you soon.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to congratulate you, ain't movin' fun? Hope everything's going well. We miss you and can't wait to come visit. We'll see you soon, don't forget to place you breakfast orders ;-).

I like how your blog matches the wedding envelopes. Your plant is still droopy and sad, it must miss ya'll. Have fun drinking good hot coffee in the rain!
Nice place you've got here. Cool title.
I'll see you in two weeks...
BTW, writing a dissertation with an actual deadline sucks ass.
Props to Amy Kinnunen, Rachel's sister for the title. I hear you on writing stinking when deadlines are fast approaching. Yuck. Nothing spawns creativity like a deadline. (kidding) It will go great, I have no doubts. Can't wait to see you when you get up here. Thought of you yesterday, actually... There's an oyster festival this weekend too (forgot to count it in the list). anyway, one of the local breweries made an oyster porter. That could be one awesome beer or totally nasty. Thought you'd get a kick out of it. -L
There's an oyster stout that is the specialty of a brewery in either Ireland or England (I can't remember which)...I've always wanted to try it, but never had the chance.
